Good Work!

Question:
stay on the Trans-Canada highway through British Columbia
Answer:
The answer clause is correct.
Explanation:
It is easy to see why you might have though this passage was a phrase -- after all, it has no visible subject. Remember that a direct command has the implied subject "you," and that it is still a clause.
